Shubb is a company that specialises in producing capos for all kinds of stringed instruments. The company was formed in 1974 by banjoists Rick Shubb and Dave Coontz.[1] Shubb capos remain a top-selling capo forty years after their invention.[2] Shubb wanted to create a capo that would not make his instrument go out of tune, which has resulted in ongoing efforts to refine his invention.[3][4] Since 2016 at least 80% of Shubb's Capos are manufactured in China.[5]
